You will apply your newly developed cultural intelligence skills to a problematic 'real life' international business situation. You will undertake an analysis of, and prepare an essay on, a difficult international business situation (the case), involving cross-cultural management issues, that has arisen in the past twelve months. Essay This is an individual task in essay format of 2000 words to be submitted in both hard copy and to SafeAssign on or before 5:00 am Friday of Week 9. The international business situation for the essay will be derived from a media article reporting on recent international business activities or events. You are to choose a newspaper or online article between 350 and 1,000 words and less than twelve months old as the basis of your essay. The article MUST be included with the online submission as an appendix to the essay. The article must be reporting actual international business activities or events and not a commentary or academic critique. Additional specific guidance will be provided in Blackboard.Essays should conform in style and content to academic standards for essay writing and contain appropriate Harvard referencing methods (refer Summers and Smith).
